Abstract

Objective: This study was planned to determine opportunis tic diseases (ODs) among individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and whether there were any relationship between ODs, CD4+ T cells and the HIV viral load in Turkey.Methods: In the present study, HIV-infected individuals followed by Istanbul Education and Research Hospital between January 2002 and April 2012 were evaluated retrospectively. Demographics, CD4+ T cell count at the time of OD development, HIV RNA level, and treatment status of the patients were determined.Results: In 61 (28.8%) of 212 cases included in the study, 89 ODs occurred. Mean (±standard deviation) CD4+ T lymphocyte count was 169.6 (±23.0)/mm3, and logHIV RNA level was 5.1 (±1.4) at the time of OD development. The most commonly encountered ODs were oral candidiasis, tuberculosis and herpes zoster. There was statistically significant relationship between number of ODs and CD4+ T lymphocyte count and HIV RNA levels. Fatal diseases like Toxoplasma encephalitis, HIV encephalopathy and cytomegalovirus infection occurred more frequently when CD4+T cell count was below 50 cells/mm3 and the viral load was high (>5 log). ODs were more frequently seen in cases with high viral load when the number of CD4+ T cell count was below 200/mm3. If viral load was over 5 log and the number of CD4+ T cells was low, the number of ODs was higher. Conclusions: Oral candidiasis, tuberculosis, and herpes zoster have been the most commonly encountered ODs in Turkey. ODs occur more frequently in patients with low CD4+ T cell counts and high viral loads. Klimik Dergisi 2015; 28(1): 28-34

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma, ülkemizdeki fırsatçı hastalık (FH) saptanan "human immunodeficiency virus" (HIV) infeksiyonlu hastaların CD4+ T hücre ve HIV RNA viral yük özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır.Yöntemler: Ocak 2002-Nisan 2012 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi İnfeksiyon Hastalıkları ve Klinik Mikrobiyoloji Kliniği tarafından izlenmiş HIV infeksiyonu olan kişilerden FH gelişenlerin demografik özellikleri, FH geliştiği zamandaki CD4+ T hücre sayısı, HIV RNA düzeyi ve tedavi durumları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 212 hastanın 61 (%28.8)'inde 89 FH gelişmiştir. FH'ler saptandığı zamanki CD4+ T hücre ortalamasının (±standard sapma) 169.6 (±23.0) hücre/mm3, logHIV RNA düzeyinin 5.1 (±1.4) olduğu kaydedilmiştir. En sık saptanan FH'lerin oral kandidiyaz, tüberküloz ve herpes zoster olduğu görülmüş; FH'lerin sayısıyla CD4+ T hücre ve HIV RNA düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Toxoplasma ensefaliti, HIV ensefalopatisi ve sitomegalovirus infeksiyonu gibi hayatı tehdit edebilen hastalıkların, CD4+ sayısının 50 hücre/mm3'ün altına indiği durumlarda ve yüksek viral yük (>5 log) varlığında geliştiği izlenmiştir. CD4+ T hücre sayısı 200 hücre/mm3'ün altındayken, FH'lerin sayısının yükselen HIV RNA düzeyiyle birlikte arttığı görülmüştür. Viral yük 5 log'un üzerindeyken CD4+ T hücre sayısı azaldıkça FH'lerin sayısının arttığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar: Türkiye'de HIV ile infekte bireylerde en sık gözlenen FH'ler oral kandidiyaz, tüberküloz ve herpes zoster'dir. FH'ler CD4+ T hücre sayısı düşük hastalarda viral yük arttıkça daha sık görülmektedir. Klimik Dergisi 2015; 28(1): 28-34
